This annotated bibliography presents the views of writers concerned with the many aspects of educating the disadvantaged. Books and journal articles which appeared principally between January 1960 and June 1965 are listed, the Wilson Company "Education Index" having been used as a basic guide. The list is designed particularly for educational leaders at state and local levels who are providing or improving programs for disadvantaged children at the elementary level. Many of the references are purported to be of interest also to teachers, teacher-educators, parents, and concerned others. The citations are grouped in the following categories: overview of the problem; research studies; early childhood education; school programs and methods; cultivating language skills; teacher education; library services; administering school programs; parents and the school; and, legislation.
